I have had social anxiety disorder for years but the doctors always told me I was just shy which was untrue it was much more than that.I do not have a job not that many friends dont even drive yet due to this .I want to get help and I am just wondering if there is any way to treat this or at least make it tolerable and let me live finally.If you want to make fun of this go right ahead but unless you actually deal with this you have no idea how difficult or hard it is to live with.

I actually suffered this for years, what helped me was yoga and self meditation. I didn't get my liscense until I was 21, I got a job out of luck when I was 16 (i sat in a room and stuffed envelopes) and kept it until alittle after i turned 21. I started talking to myself alot, thinking positive things and now I am very active. I even have a boyfriend, but I still have alot of problems socializing and now drink alot when out…but one step at a time.
